As vaping-related illness cases reach 1,300, health officials still don’t know the cause
(October 11, 2019, 13:01 p.m.) — The outbreak of the mysterious vaping-related illness has reached 1,299 cases and 26 deaths across the country, said Centers for Disease Control and Prevention principal deputy director Anne Schuchat on Friday. That’s an increase of 219 cases from last week — a combination of new patients getting sick and new reporting of previously identified patients.
To date, 26 people have died of vaping-related illness. One was only 17 years old. “We’re not seeing a meaningful drop off in cases,” Schuchat said.
